51s will host clothing drive

"We are thrilled that the Las Vegas 51s are including Goodwill to participate in one of their biggest games of the seas," said Steve Chartrand, president and CEO of Goodwill. He will throw out the first pitch for the Hawaii-themed game.
A Goodwill truck will be outside Cashman Field on that Saturday to collect donations.
